This

provided pie chart explains the

poverty

proportion of

women

by household composition, and the bar chart illustrates the difference in

rates

of

poverty

which depends on age and sex in the United States in 2008.

Overall

, it can be seen that single

women

with no dependent

children

made the largest percentage in

poverty

, but the

rates

of

poverty

for

women

were almost greater than for men, particularly at adult

ages

.

Firstly

, single

women

were responsible for the greatest ratio in

poverty

, despite

this

, single

women

without

children

represented around 54% of

poverty

which was higher than single

women

with dependent

children

, at 26%.

Secondly

, married

women

accounted for the remaining fifth which was 8% for married

women

with no dependent

children

and 12% for married

women

with dependent

children

. Turning to the bar chart,

however

,

poverty

rates

for

women

were generally above men, but they were nearly equal

rates

for

ages

under 18.

For example

,

poverty

rates

for

ages

between 5 and 17 were, at approximately 16%, but for

ages

lower than 5 were, at about 20%.

In addition

to that, there was a different gap in

poverty

rates

among males and females, which started at

ages

18-24 years old,

then

;

this

gap was reduced, until it doubled, at

ages

75-up years old.
